About time...New Bodies!
 

After a long while, I finally got the message. SA bodies royally suck. So, here is the story. I was working on some zombie sprites for SA, and the scary thing was, the body/shading was better then the body of the SA body. I couldn't stand it, so it drove me along with all the negative comments to spend a few days making a new body. A body I actually put time, thought, and effort into. So, here it is.

I will post a screenshot of the body in game, to show how well it goes with the world, with the old body next to it in order to compare, and then a second screenshot, from the gani editor this time, showing the body alone. Keep in mind, the body has 6 attributes on it, not including head/hair, it will have 11 total when I completely finish it (with shield + 4 accessories). So it still is not complete, but good enough to show.

Well, here it is! Please post comments, and vote on the poll...I have hopes the results will be rather one sided.

Here is the body taken from the gani editor.

The new one is much better :]

Definatly an improvment. The face looks a little distorted but I'm guessing its because he's looking down at an angle. :)

The new ones are better, but they're..fat. o_o

Compared to the old ones they are fat, but compared to any other quality game they are just about the right size.

The newer bodies look better, but I dislike both heads. :( They seem rather odd.

Exactly what I was looking for, improvements on the head. What seems odd about it, the hair? The face? The expression?

I am currently working on the head so I need to know.

i dont know which to pick z-z

I hope you are joking :(

The hair on the newer one looks funky, and the eyes look scary. :( *scared*

:megaeek: *Craps his pants* In my opinion, those bodies, and that complete seemingly flawless level is awesome. That is Shifting Ages, I assume? Wow, looks like a totally different game, can't wait for this place to be released. Anyway, I think the newer body looks nicer.

You don't like the hair? :( The hair is my favorite part. Hmm, as for the eyes, I will work on it.

Hehe, thanks. Yeah, it is Shifting Ages.

The hair is bigger than the character's head! >_<!

It is at a 45 perspective viewpoint, of course it shows more hair then head x-x

Why not use both? I'm a little more fond of the older and skinnier one, but they both look good in the game :)

LOL...you must be the only person who likes the old body, hehe. I cannot use the old one, because of the fact completely new dimensions and redone everything, including ganis. I do not plan on make 2 seperate ganis for the hundreds of ganis I will end up having when I am ready.

Old body suck.. but i like the old one than the new one.. new one looks to fat and ugly..

Rate: 3/10

Aww. Oh well :) Can't always have the cake and eat it too.

LOL and let me guess, the bodies for your ugly PW are simply magnificent, aren't they? Of course! What a masterpiece!

Who the hell says that? If you have the cake, it's your given right to be able to eat it.

Oh my god.. grow up you little *****, you asked for opinions i gave my opinion.

My PW have nothing to do with this, so go get a better argument.

If i wouldn't tell that the body suck you wouldn't have a chance of changing it, because you would think that everyone likes it.. well you're wrong! I DO NOT LIKE IT.

And yes, i think my bodies is better than your, because i know Kinatt is a way better GFXer than you, and he's making it.

Next time, don't freak out because of a comment, that you asked for, you little fool..

Its an old saying. Basically, it means that just because you get what you want doesn't necessarily mean you'll get to use it or whatever.

I could give you a slice of cake, but that doesn't mean you get to eat it. All I did was give you the cake, not the permission to eat it ;)

GAHAHAAHA :D. Ok. Whatever you say. I wonder...do you actually have anything from Kinatt yet, for your deal on:

"You make me bodies and I will get you debug access"?

Hmm, if not, then guess what, as far as I am concerned your PWs bodies are those ones shown in the screenshot with the guy in front of a house with a hat on.

Umm.. no that's not the body, that's some random poo i put together like 4 months ago.

And yes, i got alot from Kinatt.. and what deal are you talking about? He wanted to join GK staff, so i got him in.. then i asked if he could help me, and he did..


And as i said before, this have nothing with my PW to do.. way to go dude.. going offtopic on your own thread... :rolleyes:

The subject is your body, which is ugly. get over it, or make it better.

I don't like either, sorry soul, but the second one looks rather flat, and gradiented. Shadows are all wrong, and you can tell that. It looks as if you didn't spend as much effort. I like first much more.

First one is fine, just edit it up a little bit.

Well, from my point of view, the first one is crap in every way, and the second one is superior. Gradiented? :rolleyes:

And what are you talking about, shadows all wrong? As for time spent, I spent 5x as much time on the new ones.

Soul-Blade. Learn to take negative comments without starting flame wars.

Will it help if I spoke what I really think about the bodies and say I don't like them either?

If you give me the cake, I own it, no? That means I can give myself permission to eat it. :D

Cake is a real object in which I can own myself. It's not like a Graal account where I am paying to use the account.

Can I have the cake that this discussion is about?

NO. >:[

The hair looks really nice, just reminds me of Clay (from American Idol) before he got his hair cut. It looks a little long.

I think the shading around the nose looks funky. It looks like he has dirt on his nose or something.

No. there are 3 types of comments, fool. 1) Positive 2)Constructive and 3)Negative. When you give 1 or 2, I will respond with either a question or positively. When you give the third, I will respond Negatively. I do not take senseless crap without a reasonable explanation, and I have received none. You people are basicly saying "The body sucks, go die". The body sucks? Where? How should I improve it? See, it is called constructive critisism, and is the only "harrassment" I accept, and in fact, the only kind I welcome.

Notice when Neonight said he did not like the head specifically, and I responded with a question asking how it should be improved? I suppose not, otherwise you would have been intelligent enough not to post that....not to perceptive I see.

The fact is, and I have been holding it in due to the little thing of holding in my own arrogance, but the fact is Tyrials stuff is utter crap. What has he shown...a crappy looking - ripped house from Oasis? Low quality indoors ripped from Oasis and downgraded? He has so many flaws and I will go through them all because of the fuse you just ignited.

<The flaws of the ***** by the name of Tyrial:>

1) Completely unoriginal in PW design

2) Bad grammer and spelling

3) Copies and insults things superior to his own

4) Not friendly - only talks when he wants something in return

5) Blackmail - "From now on I am going to show Stefan everything you say" (Ahahaha, and he got a great reaction from Stefan..ah wonderful)

6) Exploitation - "Hey I want to work for debug" "Yeah I can get you access there if you make me some graphics" *takes 2 minutes to leave a message saying a amazing graphics maker wants a position, then in return will receive weeks worth of work in graphics*

7) Did I mention he likes to rip graphics?

8) Conniving - Actually more to what he says then he really shows "Hey Soul Blade I got some good ideas here" *allows on Ideas Team* "Soul Blade can I see the world?" *does no work*.........................

9) Annoying - *logs onto AIM* "Message from Tyrial:<insert annoying useless crap>""Message from Tyrial:<insert annoying useless crap>"........................

10) Only does work when it is to his advantage to gain more power - see: Debug ; Submission to go on Idea Team

11) Brown Noser

12) Whiner - "Stefan please have a talk with soul blade, he seems to have a problem with me" (Gaahaha, and a talk we had...was not what Tyrial expected)

I will add more to the list as I continue to see things from Tyrial...

<End List of The flaws of the ***** by the name of Tyrial:>

Alrighty then, and there you have it. I think I forgot to mention he rips graphics? Ah no, I have that one. Good. And so this concludes my post.

Hehe, thanks. I am actually redoing the hair and the head right now, I am going to downgrade on the shading, using strictly paint. The problem I find with this head (not hair though) is that it is so shaded it takes away from the details, rather then add to it. A head needs less shading (but still shading, using less colors) to properly show the expression. Hehe...I went rambling on a bit, but anywho I am glad you pointed out that nose...

...No, I think it still look fats on its own, or at least that particular set of armour does. The waist is too wide, and the shoulders aren't broad enough, but only by a bit.

Hmm yeah I see. Luckily, it is only that armor. I remember I made the waste extra wide and the shoulders extra large when making it ;)

Then I will take the cake away. :p

::swipes cake::

Hmm, rather interesting, have a look fellows.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is magically deleted some how ;)

Be sure to read the whole thread.

Hmm wow. Tyrial always says "Lord Helmut" saw his house graphics before Oasis was even out. I tracked down good ol' Lord Helmut (who I just so happened to know very well) and got this conversation out of it. Make what you will of it.


*LH's real AIM replaced with LordHelmut for privacy

S0u1B1ade: Hey I had a question..are you busy right now? (that isn't the question x-x)
LordHelmut: somewhat
S0u1B1ade: x-x I'll ask anyway...did you ever know someone named Tyrial (Ghastly as well I believe)
LordHelmut: yes
S0u1B1ade: did he show you some house graphics before the graal PW Oasis was known about (or did you leave before that?)
LordHelmut: uhm
LordHelmut: i believe he did
LordHelmut: why
S0u1B1ade: ok, did it look like this?
S0u1B1ade: http://forums.graal2001.com/forums/a...&postid=824831
LordHelmut: yea
LordHelmut: minus the chimney and inner part of the windows i believe
S0u1B1ade: And that was before the world Oasis?
LordHelmut: yea i think so
LordHelmut: i dont remember why
S0u1B1ade: ah nothing, just needed to do some research on whether or not he stole the graphics from Oasis
LordHelmut: he always steals em LOL
LordHelmut: unless they look retarted
LordHelmut: then he didnt
S0u1B1ade: he commonly says "Ask LordHelmut" of course, most people do not have your AIM name
S0u1B1ade: so it was a trap by him
LordHelmut: oo
LordHelmut: he knows i ignore almost every IM unless it seems important
S0u1B1ade: hehe, well thanks for replying to this one

first of all
i would hope you, soul-blade, would have thought of this
but i hate on graal characters, how they simply just stand there with their arms facing down 24\7

at least in RO, they move and they look a little more human

second, i think the skinny body looks more animeish that seems to fit your server better than that scale model of an ancient hun does.

they both sorta suck
i suggest you hire someone to do decent sprites for you, not being an ass, just saying.
